  1. Change shortcut keys for delete

    I really like using shortcut keys in yahoo mail but it's not perfect. My biggest issue is the use of backspace to delete mail. I often accidentally delete mail while I am typing because of this.

  2. Turn off shortcuts in website version

    Make it possible to disable keyboard shortcuts in the website version. Sometimes when I am writing an email all of a sudden shortcut mode kicks in and 10 commands have been executed with emails deleted etc. If people want to use shortcuts fine, but please provide an option to turn it off for normal users

  4. Elongated Email

    FIX YOUR ****
    I am trying to reply but for some reason the email has been extended horizontally and now the "reply" and "expand" button are all the way off to the right in the elongated center of the email, rather than in it's regular position.

    who the **** keeps changing **** and thinking it's a god idea. sir, because we know it's a man, cause a woman would never. Sir, you need your ideas clocked, as well as your face. (:

  5. Sorting

    It would be really great if we could sort email by subject. I really really miss that feature.

    HI Amanda, you can still sort by subject. You can disable Inbox Categories under your Settings and go back to just one Inbox. Then you can see by subject. You can also sort by others things if you disable Conversation view. Hope this helps!

  6. Sort by sender

    Should be able to sort any folder by the sender (or the Sent folder by the recipient)

    Hi Charlie, thanks for your feedback! You can still sort by sender like the old version. First you need to disable Conversation view. We cannot sort by sender when Conversation view is enabled. Once this is disabled you'll see Sort by Sender as a sorting option. Thanks!

  7. There is a significant bug in Yahoo

    Nina Stahl sent me an email on Apr 16. I don't see that email in my list of emails on the 16th but when I search for it I am able to find it. This has happened to me multiple times where emails do not show up in the inbox view but show up in search. Can you fix this?

    One change you'll see is a new feature called Inbox Categories. So you'll see at the top of your Inbox, your emails are now organized in Categories. If you're not seeing all your emails, it might be because you're in the Priority tab. Please go to your "All" tab so you can see all your emails. Thanks.

  8. Allow to sort unread by sender

    It looks like you can no longer sort unread e-mail by sender.

    Hi Don, you can still sort by sender, but like the old version, you need to disable Conversation view. You cannot sort by sender when Conversation view is enabled. Once you disable that under your Settings, one of the sorting options will be Senders name. Thanks!

  9. How to logout of Yahoo! Mail?

  10. date

    Having emails broken up by date is helpful when trying to locate a relevant email. Yes, it is ordered by date in the inbox, but not being able to see where yesterday, last week, and last month emails start makes it very difficult when doing a visual search because you cannot search using the correct key word or recall the sender - only roughly when it was sent. Please bring back the time periods (today, yesterday, last week, last month, last year, etc.).

  11. Hover to change between linked accounts is super frustrating

    Turn it back to having them clickable on the side of the screen without having to first hover over it and then perfectly time it so that it doesn't vanish when you try to click, e.g shared yahoo account or gmail account.

  12. Bring back the log out on mail screen

    I go into mail first thing. I can no longer log off from the new Yahoo mail screen. If I select going to any other option a new tab is opened which I do not want. I will have to go back to the old Yahoo mail.

    We encourage you to read at the top of the Uservoice header (forum). There we provide What’s New, Coming Soon and some Tips. There we mention how to disable Inbox Categories: All, Priority, etc. Definitely read those as we update them with useful information. Thanks.

  15. Keep Folder Tree Visible in Sidebar

    Yahoo mail used to allow keeping the folder tree visible on the left sidebar when looking at the inbox, that feature has disappeared. This makes it a hassle to manage keeping emails in folders and going back to access them. The feature for adding subfolders is now buried and also more of a hassle. Please put these back to the way they were!!

  16. better ability to check storage

    i click on the link that YOU sent on June 24 to check my storage amount, and now that screen doesnt show it! I feel like you are being tricky to backdoor us into upgrading. I totally agree that we as consumers can delete unnecessary emails to release your server's burden, but let us play along. Please send me a new functional link of HOW I can see the GB number. You allow 20GB before billing us , and i have about 9 GB. Thanks.

    If your account has had no activity for 365 days, then the account is deactivated. We communicate this a few times which includes sending you an email to your alternative email account, so make sure that is updated. If you need help reinstating, contact our CC team at help.yahoo.com. They have the tools to help with these issues. Hope this helps!

  18. Spam folder should show number of emails when hovering

    Like the Inbox folder icon, the Spam folder icon should also show the number of emails when hovering over the icon. Showing a small unread emails number on the Spam icon's upper righthand side would be a nice feature too. Currently, I need to open the Spam folder to see if there are any emails. I am using Microsoft Edge browser.

  19. There's a problem deleting emails from the Inbox.

    I don't really call the problem with Navigation, but nothing else fits.

    Every time I delete an email without opening it, the system opens the next email. I don't want the next email opened! It just started a few days ago, but it's very annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Please go back to the way it was last week.

    Thank you.

  20. Also need to see which address an email was sent to

    WE also need to see which email address a message is sent to. Right now, when viewing a message, it simply says to "me" but does not show me which email address it was sent to. Thus when looking at message in the spam box, I can't even tell which of my yahoo email addresses it was sent to. Being able to see which of my email addresses when both composing and viewing is very important.
